[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here— I should have titled the thread No Sense of Community in County Wide Special Education School.

I’m really just looking for ideas. [/quote]

Then you are in the wrong forum.  Those MCPS schools do have parents who have an interest in the school community.  You need to connect with them. [/quote]

Why on Earth would OP, who is a parent of a child attending a public school in MCPS, asking a question about an MCOS school, not belong in this forum?[/quote]

Read the question. They are looking for community in a school not covered by this forum.  If they want to connect with their community then connect where their community already exists. These aren't new schools. [/quote]

OP clarified that her kid is at a County Wide PUBLC school.  She is new to this and used the wrong term.  That doesn't mean she's not welcome here.

As someone who has taught in special ed schools, and had a kid with a disability in MCPS, while there are absolutely parents who want community, there are also barriers that make forming community hard, particularly that many kids are coming from a distance, and that many parents are dealing with more challenges and more schools than at other schools, and that schools have concerns about confidentiality.   If OP says that there isn't an obvious way to connect with other parents, then it's probably likely that there isn't, and helping her think of ways to overcome the challenges and build connections makes sense.[/quote]
